Hi there, I have had my first major wows. I think this whole process happened so fast that I was numb for the first few wow's.
1. I came across a photo my 6 year old took of me on my camera phone. It was taken from behind and I was blow drying my hair at the time.. I looked at this photo and thought, who the hell is this and why is she wearing my clothes. Then realized it was me and baby do I look gorgeous from behind
. Well I know I have not even reached onderland but the difference to befores are remarkable. I get complimented on a daily basis and can't manage - oh thank you. Before I can stop myself I blunder: Yes I do look great don't I... now I've never been vain so this is a brand new experience..
2. I went into a clothing store to buy the girls some new clothes. This is a store known for it's small sizing( a big size on small size etc) and found a size 18 ( at my biggest I was shopping in the size 26 shops) and thought ok- maybe need to come to earth a bit- I tried it on and IT FIT ME!!! Oh what a wonderful feeling
I did not buy it because it was ugly ( new experience because I would usually buy stuff that fit me and not even think about what I look like in it)
3. MAJOR WOW. My 6 year old weighs 18 kg. I now weigh my old weight minus her weight. So I have lost a child in weight. This is about what I picked up in my pregnancy. So now I have to lose the 12 year old still - about 58 kg and then we are too thin! Ha.
My husband ( a health fanatic) had a favourite saying- why don't you get up off your lazy ass and do something- do you think you can just lose weight by lying here... My current answer: Well yes, I can.....
I also lost 2 kg from the 24th of Dec to the 1st of Jan- a major breakthrough.
Also- went to my inlaws on the 31st for the traditional lunch. There was nothing on the lunchtable I could eat... but it did not bother me.... I drank my water. Tasted the gammon and ate a litchi.... It's a wild wild world we live in Master Jack.
BTW- I am now smaller than most of the people in my team and have 3 black bags full of clothes I can no longer wear without looking shabby.
